Viaduct Pond on the Hampstead Chain has one of the most iconic views from its banks, its namesake- the Viaduct. This bridge was built between 1844 and 1847 by Sir Thomas Maryon Wilson, the then owner of part of the Heath. He wanted to develop his land into grand villas. The bridge, made of bricks from the Heath’s own brickworks (located near Vale of Health) was to be part of the grand entrance to these villas. Fortunately, his plans were thwarted by legislation which protected the Heath as open space.

The pond and viaduct road across it were built in 1844 at the start of Sir Thomas Maryon Wilson's ambitious attempt to build a series of villas on his estate. The intention was for the road to lead to the houses, but they were never built, except for a couple of foundation stones. His plans came under criticism by those against development on the heath, the ranks of which included Charles Dickens.

The HL (presumably a local landmark) is located right here, ON the bridge. It doesn't exactly look impressive when crossing it.

To enjoy the fantastic view you see in the photos, you have to walk all the way around the pond.

And today (February) I was ankle-deep in mud. On the other hand, two dozen squirrels were happily dancing around me.

A worthwhile detour, but with some limitations, at least in the winery.
